I’m not really into pastries. I could pass by a donut tray and not even be tempted. And if there is a danish laying around? I’m not interested.

But sometimes all I really want is a warm muffin smeared with a bit of butter.

We rarely have muffins in our house. Mainly because they are a ‘breakfast’ food, and we rarely eat something like this for breakfast. We are also always on the go in the mornings, and Mr. How Sweet must get in his 27 egg whites to meet his protein requirements for the morning. You know the drill.

So in the chance that I ever do make muffins, I make them in the afternoon, or the evening.

And then they become the dessert that Mr. How Sweet shovels into his mouth while standing over sink.

When making muffins, I love adding some raw turbinado sugar on top for that delicious crunch.

I think most of us can agree that muffin tops are the best part, right?

So in my usual wasteful, bratty fashion, I tend to eat the tops off most muffins, and just leave them sitting on the counter.

AH i would take that muffin over 27 eggs any day! I love the idea of throwing some turbinado sugar on top to get that golden crunch!! you are a GENIOUS Jess and how was i NOT following you on twitter before?! I am now ;)

I have to concur. I LOVE basically any type of muffin as long as it has some butter on it, and it is hot! There is really something about a muffin just pulled out of the oven, crunchy on the outside, and warm and satisfying on the inside. Wow, the longer Steve is gone, the more descriptive I get about “satisfying” muffins. I digress. I love muffins!

I rarely make muffins because I can easily plow through a batch on my own… My boyfriend eats 7-10 egg whites every morning which always prompts me to sing the Gaston song from Beauty and the Beast (“when I was a lad I ate 4 dozen eggs every morning to help me get larrrrrge…”)

I love your blog, it is so funny and I can definately relate with you and your man.

These muffins look delicious! I made the Happy Chicken the other day and JL said, now why don’t you make more stuff like this??? I guess we kinda have gotten into a bit of a food downturn since he is bored of all my usuals :)

I put sliced zuchinni on top with the mushrooms to add more vegis to the meal…

Ok, that last picture is gorgeous!! My last summer in college I totally had a summer of the muffins. I made ‘em everyday and my muffin top proved it! ;) Oh, but I do love choc. chip muffins… soooooo good! Especially with buttah!

Chocolate chip muffins are the best! I always used to get the vegan ones at my Whole Foods, but they have stopped carrying them for some reason. I guess it’s a good thing, they were becoming an addiction. :)

I love muffins. I like them hot too, and I understand the feeling of scorching off the top of your mouth. I do that a lot, but usually with pizza, or coffee, or soup. I haven’t had a muffin in a really long time, probably because I don’t eat wheat. However I want to try with oat bran flour!!

You take the best photos of food! Seriously, every time I look at anything on your blog I am immediately hungry! Just a thought–maybe warn us at the beginning of ohhhh say a brownie or muffin recipe so we can close our eyes, hold our breaths and pray we scroll down far enough to not see the yummy goodness! :P

I’m such a sucker for muffins. Especially homemade, and especially chocolate chip and especially…haha jk. Your muffins look amazing! Thanks for posting the recipe. If I’m craving something sweet, I know I can always come to your site and get an idea to bake something wonderful.

first of all let me say i have read your entire blog right back to the first entry. I love it!! I cannot tell you how many of your recipes i have saved for future use and to share on my blog as well sending everyone your way!

I made these muffins last night and sent 4 home with the BF and took the rest to the office. The BF ate one on his way home and the other 3 with a huge glass of milk this morning and I have only been at work for 40 minutes and they are almost gone!

They are a huge hit!!!

Thanks for having such a great blog!! I only hope my blog after some work can be half as great as yours!
